How To Survive After

XI: Before and After

Kol pulled her into his chest, he like it when she was in his arms. Since Azalea was only 5 feet 2 and he was 6 foot 1 her head was in line with his heart.
Leaning his chin on tip of her head, when he was about to continue the conversation when her phone started to ring.
Azalea looked up at him silently asking him to answer, as she was so comfy too. Kol nodded, but when he heard a man's voice on the other side he wanted nothing more than to throw the device across the room; luckily he didn't

Not recognizing the number, Azalea decided to go big as either scare or terrify whoever it was "I did it, but there was so much blood we need a cleanup crew" When Kol heard this come out of Azalea's mouth he couldn't help but laugh loudly, but was muffled by her hand on his lips

On the other side of the call, the cheery yet confused voice of Damon Salvatore answered "Super Nova"

Recognizing the voice she wanted nothing more than to end the call but couldn't stop herself from insulting him "Oh, it's you, Day I don't have time for you like ever so what do you want"

He sarcastically replied, "I love it when you talk dirty"

"I can talk dirtier, like how you would look lovely with your insides on the outside with them hanging in your house"  Azalea calmly told him as her patience was running thin with the vampire. All the while Kol was looking at her with a beaming smile at the nature of her threats, it was like second nature to her and he basked in it

"As lovely that sounds," Damon drawled, covering the shiver of horror that went down his spine as Azalea threatened him so joyfully, "I thought you should know, I have given Klaus the coffins" 

Azalea froze, looking up at Kol who mirrored her hopeful expression, "Is he going to undagger them"

"Probably not," Damon admitted, "But I was hoping I could introduce you to his brother"
Kol was downright murderous at the thought of Azalea meeting Elijah. He could only be the Mikaelson Damon is talking about; Kol was still on the other side, Finn would just have left, and Klaus was already in town and the main focus of the scooby gang's ire

"Nah, I'm good" Azalea replied as she laughed in the arms of another one of Klaus's brothers. Said brother tightened his hold ever so slightly in possession of his witch

"Come on," Damon urged, hoping to have the Wixen who liked him to agree to his plan. "You would be able to get revenge on Klaus" 

"I'll think about it" Azalea answered dismissively, before abruptly hanging up.
She had had enough of Damon's voice for the next 24 hours and tossed her phone onto the sofa as if it burned her to hold it

Trying to leave Kol's arms, Azalea looked at him, seeing the rippling veins down his cheeks looking like crakes marble.
"Kol, calm down"
"You have names for each other" Was the only thing Kol said, his normally chocolate eyes were pitch black in mania

"Yes,"
It wasn't a question.
"I want one," Kol demanded, as he stared into Azalea's sparkling eyes, making her knees weak

Shaking herself out of her dazed look, Azalea wondered why Kol was acting like this, "I love your name"
"I still want one," Kol demanded, with a pout which Azalea couldn't say no to
